Karachi Kings have been blown away for 229 on a batting pitch. Lahore Qalandars bowled spectacularly but it was Zafar Gohar who starred with the ball - claiming a 4-fer.
A gritty 90 at the top from Quinton de Kock held Kings' innings together for the majority of the game. If he hadn't stuck around the Kings would be knee deep in trouble.

Sahibzada Farhan and David Warner started off well but neither of them could convert their starts into something bigger. They were dismissed for 33 and 38 respectively.
230 is not a difficult chase for Lahore Qalandars, especially considering the calibre of their batting. It is going to take something special for Karachi Kings to defend 230.

Karachi wins! They defend a target of 230 on one of the most batsman-friendly wickets in Pakistan, and they do it by a significant enough margin to make it meaningful.
Winning by 63 runs is going to give the Karachi Kings a massive boost in terms of net-run-rate, a boost they massively needed considering their awful start to the season.

Waqas Maqsood stars with a 4-wicket haul as Lahore Qalandars are bundled-up for 166. Hasan Ali had the second-best figures as well as the last wicket of the game.
This was one of the best bowling efforts in Haier Cup Pakistan history given the situation and the stakes. Now, Karachi and Lahore's kismet rests in the hand of other teams.

So fingers crossed we atleast guarantee a playoff berth. Unless the sim goes haywire.

However, finishing on top will be cherry on the cake.

I think toss will be really crucial. Win toss and bat second on that green minefield.
 
Gutted about the result. Poor batting cost us the game. We lost the last 9 wickets for 78! The bowling performance was good, with Zafar starring as always. But as soon as Williamson got out, everyone followed.

Still hoping to qualify, but the side has let us and themselves down today. Nevertheless, well-bowled and well-played Karachi!
 
I got super excited after seeing the tables - only to realise that its not the last game of the fixtures.

Either way, a win is a high win. Got very lucky to be able to defend that total especially on such a batting friendly pitch

Both openers sent back within four deliveries! Aaron Finch and Jonny Bairstow played the new ball cautiously and added 43 runs for the opening-wicket for Islamabad.
Mohammad Amir and a bullseye throw from Virat Kohli sends both of United's openers back to the pavilion, just as it seemed they were about to exploit their start.

Big wicket! Islamabad United's captain is sent back to the dugout after a forgetful run-a-ball 17. A simple nick gets the job done for Mustafizur Rahman and Peshawar.
Islamabad desperately need someone to dig deep and take their innings to the backend. This pitch is not going to assist a run-chase, but they still need runs on the board.

A frail swing of the bat that barely connects has undone Sohaib Maqsood entirely. Looking to take Mohammad Ilyas on, Sohaib Maqsood edged it to the wicket keeper.
With 4 wickets down for 97 - Islamabad need one big knock to get themselves to a respectable total. They've got the bowling power to defend any score on this pitch.

Fifty run stand between Rohail Nazir and Iftikhar Ahmed. United desperately needed a partnership - Rohail Nazir and Iftikhar Ahmed stepped up and delivered just that.
Excellent show of valiancy from Rohail Nazir, playing a subdued and cautious knock. Iftikhar Ahmed took a more attacking approach, and both batsmen were successful.

Mohammad Amir! Mohammad Amir, you beauty! Back-to-back strikes by Mohammad Amir have once again deflated Islamabad United just when they gained momentum.
The well-set Rohail Nazir had no antidote to Mohammad Amir's in-swinging delivery that caught him plumb. Shadab Khan was undone by a fantastic catch from Azhar Ali.

Shakib Al Hasan deceives Iftikhar Ahmed to dismiss the last recognized batsman in Islamabad United's lineup. Iftikhar Ahmed missed a well-earned half-century by 9 runs.
Iftikhar Ahmed's 41 off 38 is the highest-score for Islamabad United in the innings so far - and it seems it's going to take some batting from the tail to top that on this pitch.

Lockie Ferguson gets his first wicket of the game. In his 5.0 overs, Lockie Ferguson has only conceded 10 runs. Just goes to show how difficult it is to bat on this wicket.
Junaid Khan departs 8 balls after Aamer Yamin's dismissal. With the last man out to bat, it seems highly unlikely Islamabad United are going to pass the 200-run mark.

A run out wraps up Islamabad United's innings. They post a below-par score of 185. They definitely have the bowling to defend that, but Peshawar's batting is formidable.

Mohammad Amir delivered big in a must-win game for Peshawar - picking up 3 massive wickets and breaking a crucial partnership between Rohail Nazir and Iftikhar Ahmed.
Rohail Nazir and Iftikhar Ahmed's 50-run partnership for the 5th-wicket was the highest partnership of the innings and it helped Islamabad United stabilize their innings.

Iftikhar Ahmed missed a well-deserved fifty by just 9 runs, but on a pitch where everyone found it hard to bat, Iftikhar Ahmed was timing the ball like nobody's business.
All bowlers picked-up a wicket each with Amir topping the bowling card with his 3. Lockie Ferguson was the most economical whereas Mustafizur Rahman the least.

The toss was crucial. Whoever bowl first is going to have a huge advantage on this pitch. Babar should’ve stepped up, though.
 
It was a valiant effort by the team. Ferguson bowled extremely well. Aamir once again proved to be the pick of the bowlers. Shakib was decent enough for this track.

I took the risk of going with 4 genuine quicks for this match. While it will limit the batting depth, the risk has paid off till now. Just need one little heroic from the bat.
